For MI5 Intelligence Officer Liz Carlyle the nagging complications of her private life are quickly forgotten at Monday's Counter-Terrorist meeting. An invisible may have entered mainland Britain. An 'invisible' is a terrorist who is an ethnic native of the target country, who can cross its borders unchecked. Who or what is the target?
